- Fourth arm 13 is attached like a cantilever to first arm 12 and second arm 14 . That it to say, fourth arm 13 is attached to one side face of first arm 12 and to one side face of second arm 14 .
- Feeder 16 is located on the opposite side to fourth arm 13 relatively to a rotating axis (not shown) of first arm 12 .
- the rotating axis of first arm 12 is an axis for rotatably attaching a first arm 12 to base 11 .
- feeder 16 is attached to the same side as fourth arm 13 relatively to the rotating axis of first arm 12 , when second arm 14 pivots, feeder 16 interferes with fourth arm 13 . Therefore, the operation range of second arm 14 is restricted. Furthermore, in order to avoid the interference of feeder 16 to fourth arm 13 , the position to which feeder 16 is attached is required to be offset to the outside of fourth arm 13 . This structure leads to increase in the size and weight of fixing device 17 , resulting in deterioration of the motion performance and approaching performance to a welding work, etc. in an industrial robot.
- feeder 16 When feeder 16 is attached to the opposite side to fourth arm 13 relatively to the rotating axis of first arm 12 , problems associated with interference mentioned above or unnecessary increase in the size and weight of fixing device 17 do not arise.

- feeder 16 is rotated around rotation axis 17 A of fixing device 17 from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG. 2 and fixed. That is to say, feeder 16 is fixed facing downward (to the side of the ceiling).
- third arm 15 is rotated by 180° into a posture shown in FIG. 2 , the industrial robot is made in a state capable of welding a work (not shown) located at the side of a floor surface (not shown), for example.
- fixing device 17 for fixing feeder 16 to second arm 14 can be commonly used at the time of floor-mounted use and the time of ceiling-mounted use. That is to say, it is not necessary that fixing devices are provided independently at the time of the floor-mounted use and the time of ceiling-mounted use. Furthermore, the position to which the fixing device is attached is common and the position is not required to be changed.
- fixing device 17 is provided with rotation axis 17 A that allows feeder 16 to rotate. Then, according to whether floor-mounted installation or ceiling-mounted installation, feeder 16 is allowed to rotate around rotation axis 17 A.
- the position of torch cable 18 can be changed into the direction suitable for the time of the floor-mounted use and ceiling-mounted use. That is to say, an attachment angle of feeder 16 is changed by rotating feeder 16 without changing the position to which feeder 16 is attached between the time of floor-mounted use and the time of ceiling-mounted use. Since only this configuration can correspond to both the floor-mounted use and ceiling-mounted use of an industrial robot, an industrial robot with excellent workability can be obtained.
- torch cable 18 may be required to be fixed in order to restrict the interference range of touch cable 18 .
- feeder 16 can be fixed at an angle necessary to avoid interference of torch cable 18 .
- cable 22 passes through the inside of shaft 21 .
- layout of cable 22 inside shaft 21 constituting rotation axis 17 A is not affected. That is to say, when an industrial robot is changed from the floor-mounted use to the ceiling-mounted use, or when an industrial robot is changed from the ceiling-mounted use to the floor-mounted use, it is not necessary to change layout or coupling of cable 22 . Therefore, workability associated with the change between the floor-mounted use and the ceiling-mounted use of the industrial robot can be improved.
- a position to which feeder 16 is attached is offset to a position apart from third arm 15 .
- offsetting is carried out at minimum to a degree in which torch cable 18 attached to feeder 16 does not interfere with second arm 14 and third arm 15 .
- this attachment position the distance between location of the gravity center 41 of feeder 16 and a pivot axis of third arm 15 is reduced. Therefore, a moment load applied to fixing device 17 for fixing feeder 16 to second arm 14 becomes small. Note here that, the shorter the distance between the location of the gravity center 41 and the pivot axis of third arm 15 is, the smaller the moment load becomes. Therefore, it is desirable that at least a part of feeder 16 is located on second arm 14 .
- the industrial robot can have a compact size and light weight.
- fourth arm 13 is pivotably provided between first arm 12 and second arm 14 .
- feeder 16 may be provided on second arm 14 in an industrial robot that does not have fourth arm 13 .
- An industrial robot of the present invention can be used both at the time of floor-mounted use and ceiling-mounted use. Therefore, it is useful as an industrial robot capable of carrying out welding and the like, by mounted on a floor, on a ceiling, or the like.
